Good afternoon I know it was some work in progress from someone about this, managing a onvif camera... Does someone did already some on managing PTZ etc...? Thanks in advance

@davidcgu , It takes a bit longer as expected: Apperently some of the Onvif nodes that I had build last summer, were still based on the node-onvif library instead of the onvif library. Have updated the code, but need to test all commands. I need to optimize the communication between Node-RED and …

No problem, if someday will have some specific node to be able to integrate the motion of the camera for me will be great. Frankly speaking I have 2 cameras looking at the entrance at home and one on the 3d printer so really I'm not moving them too much... Take it easy mate

I´m very new to node-red but I have some ONVIF cameras and would love to get the motion as an event into node-red. So this look promising, please keep it up!

Look at motion or motioneye, however be aware that is a black hole on raspi resources...you can easy make it interact with nodered

Like you say it’s a server side motion and low on resources make that it will not work for me plus that my IP camera have built in video analytic:) So if I can communicate via ONVIF to get the event it’s low on the server side plus I will have great detection. Thanks for the suggestion otherwise!

Let me know when they are ready and I will give them a try. I hope to also try multiple streams of your exec ffmpeg flow we discussed in another thread tomorrow or Friday.

I promise I will test and provide my feedback! If you could implement the metadata in Onvif I would be happy as then we can receive analytic events, PTZ positions and other fun stuff the device may have:) Thanks for doing this, I wish I was a programmer and could help but sorry to say I´m not:/

HI @BartButenaers just wondering if there is any update on this?

Hey @Klangen82 , The more I contribute to Node-RED, the more feature requests and issues I receive. Have done lots of stuff meanwhile but most of them not Onvif related ... I ordered some Onvif camera's last weekend, so I should have my nodes up-and-running soon anyway. Will try to publish next w…

Hi @Klangen82, I will continue with my Onvif nodes in a couple of days. The configuration issue seems to be solved now, so I can start refactoring my code. If all goes well, I should have a first alfa version available next week. Would be nice if you could also do some tests then ...
